Vice-President Yemi Osinbajo says values, principles and morality have been destroyed, hence the need to rebuild the nation.

Osinbajo said this in Abuja on Monday night in a keynote speech at a workshop.

The workshop was organised by Apostles in the Market Place (AIMP), a non–governmental, non-denominational and non-partisan organisation.

The event was attended by top government functionaries, ministers, senators, captains of industries, religious leaders and youths.

Speaking at the workshop, the vice-president said: “I am to speak on the theme of the workshop, what can we do to rebuild our nation, but I have also decided to ask the question why do we need to rebuild?.

“Obviously it is because a lot has been destroyed, values, principles have been destroyed, moral efforts and all of the other various things that have been destroyed.

“But the reality is, of course, that as the years have gone by, we simply have not paid much attention as we ought to, especially to questions of values. So today people are not even certain any more what those values should be.

“One of the things I discover while pastoring was just the fact that very many young people do not understand any more, what the real moral questions were.

“It is not just a matter of values being lost, many young people don’t understand what is wrong any more.”

Osinbajo said the responsibility of rebuilding a nation is in the hands of the righteous.

“It turns out that there is a whole lot that the righteous can do when the foundations appeared to have been destroyed,” he said.

“The reasons why the question was asked the righteous, somehow God has decided that it is the duty and assignment of the righteous to build and rebuild the nation.

“The scripture tells us also that the righteous are the salt of the earth, the light of the world.

“In other words, everything that was done wrong with our society is just waiting for the righteous to take action to rebuild them.”

I will not let go can be keeping the highest blessing you are waiting for God to give you.

From drumming the sounds of the need to habituate in praise and worship to the revealing rhythms of the mercy of God, Apostle Benson Enakhena on the topic ‘How Mercy of God Works’ forked out fresh insights to hound the ignorance of his members on God’s mercy.
The revered apostle known for his prowess of divine insight started with saying: Every day we talk about how we so much need the mercy of God but today we want to talk about how it works—we always say father have mercy, father show me mercy, father I need your mercy, father I wear your mercy as a garment, father let your mercy heal me, father let your mercy deliver me, father let your mercy speak for my business, father let your mercy do this for me, let your mercy do that for me, but how does this mercy of God works in our life? How does this mercy speak for us? How does this mercy activate in our lives? Enakhena asked.
